Oh I enjoyed it very much! This is awesome (to use a cliché). My favorite was "the pot calling the kettle black" and "once in a blue moon". VERY useful, in the right circumstances:-) I'm counting...17? And ain't this the drabble the evidence that you can never have enough of a good thing? THANK YOU!

My favorite was this: "Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty!" Sam shouted at his slowly rousing brother. / "Watch it, Mr. cheerful, or you'll be sleeping with the fishes." / "Ah, all bark and no bite. You were three sheets to the wind last night, water?"

ROFL.

I dunno why but that last one just totally makes the whole exchange.

I counted 17 pure idiomic phrases. But that doesn't count the nicknames that could be construed as idioms.
